Zechariah 8:7-13

7This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635H2005 saysH559: “I will saveH3467 My peopleH5971 from the landH776 of the eastH4217 and from the landH776 ofH3996 the westH8121. 8I will bring themH935 backH853 to dwellH7931 inH8432 JerusalemH3389, where they will beH1961 My peopleH5971, and IH589 will beH1961 their faithfulH571 and righteousH6666 GodH430.”

9This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559: “Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, you who nowH3117H428 hearH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 spokenH834H6310 by the prophetsH5030 who were present whenH3117 the foundations were laidH3245 to rebuildH1129 the templeH1964, the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635. 10ForH3588 beforeH6440 thoseH1992 daysH3117 neitherH3808 manH120 norH369 beastH929 receivedH1961H7939 wagesH7939, nor was thereH369 safetyH7965 fromH4480 the enemyH6862 for anyone who cameH3318 or wentH935, for I had turnedH7971 everyH3605 manH120H376 against his neighborH7453. 11But nowH6258 IH589 will not treatH3808 the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 as I did in the pastH7223H3117,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635.

12“ForH3588 the seedH2233 will be prosperousH7965, the vineH1612 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529, the groundH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981, and the skiesH8064 will giveH5414 their dewH2919. To the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 I will give allH3605 these thingsH428 as an inheritanceH5157. 13AsH834 you have beenH1961 a curseH7045 among the nationsH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, soH3651 I will saveH3467 youH853, and you will beH1961 a blessingH1293. Do notH408 be afraidH3372; let your handsH3027 be strongH2388.”
